PAIL-I-IOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 3, 1910.

Application led December 15, 1909. Serial No. 533,253.

To all whom tt may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH VEINBERG, a citizen of the United States,residing at Duluth, in the county of St. Louis and State of Minnesota,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fail-Holders, ofwhich the following is a specification, reference being' had to theaccompanying drawings.

My invention relates to improvements in pail-holders; and an object ofmy invention is to provide a pail-holder which will be simpleinconstruction, comparatively cheap in manufacture and most efficient inuse.

Another object of my invention is to provide a pail-holder which may bereadily attached to and detached from the person and which will beadapted to relieve the workman or farmhand of the labor and strain ofholding the pail clasped between the knees.

In the drawings illustrating the principle of my invention and the bestmode now known to me of applying that principle, Figure 1 is aperspective view of my new pail-holder; Fig. 2 is an edge view showingthe holder attached to the leg of the wearer and the pail in positionsupported by the holder; Fig. 3 is a detail showing in side elevationthe pail-holding ring; and Fig. 4 shows the pail in plan.

The lower end of the post or bar a is pivotally fastened to thefoot-plate or sandal b by an eye or loop o. The upper end of the bar ais provided with straps (l, CZ', the strap CZ being provided -with abuckle e, so that the device may loe strapped to the leg. Near themiddle of the bar a there is attached to each side thereof a curvedplate f between which and the side of the bar c may be inserted thetongue 71, of the hook c' carried `by the pail-holding ring j. Inside ofthe rim lo of the pail m is fastened a strip of metal n; and slidablymounted upon the bar a is a clasp 0 formed with a lip p. The latter isadapted and designed to be forced between the strip n and the rim lo ofthe pail m for the purpose of holding the latter steady and of givingits upper portion support by connecting it to the bar a. The sandal b isprovided with straps g, r, the strap g being at the forepart of thesandal and the strap r being at the heelpart thereof and provided with abuckle c. Opposite the strap g the sandal is provided with an eye orloop c through which is passed the end of the strap g. The latter isfinally secured by its engagement with the tongue of the buckle e.

The operation of the device will be readily understood from theforegoing 'description in connection with a study of the drawings. Bymeans of the straps g, r the sandal or foot-plate b is fastened to thefoot; and by means of the straps (l, CZ the leg-brace 0r post a issecured to the leg. The free end of the lug 71 is hooked into the holderor catch f and the pail is dropped into the ring j. The clasp o isslipped down the bar a, until the lip p engages the rim lo of the pail munder the strap a. A screen s serves to prevent impurities from droppinginto the milk in the pail. The sandal b may be swung to either side ofthe post a, whereby it is made possible to use the device with eitherfoot.

I claim:

l. A pail-holder consisting of a .pail-support; pail-holdin@` devicescarried thereby; a foot-plate attached to said pail-support; and meansfor fastening the latter in place.

2. A pail-holder consist-ing of a pail-support; pail-holding devicescarried thereby; means for fastening said pail-support in place; and afoot-plate mounted on said pail-support free to turn.

3. A pail-holder consisting of a pail-support; pail-holding devicescarried thereby; means for fastening said pail-support in place; and afoot-plate mounted on said pail-support free to turn and provided withfastening devices.

4c. A pail-holder consisting of a leg-brace; a foot-plate attachedthereto; and a ring adapted to hold a pail and carried by saidleg-brace.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand at said Duluth this26th day of November, 1909, in the presence of the two undersignedwitnesses.

JOSEPH VEINBERG.
